Abstract excerpt
The interferon-inducible double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-activated protein kinase, PKR, plays an important role in messenger (m) RNA translation by phosphorylating the alpha subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2. Through this capacity PKR is thought to be a mediator of the antiviral and antiproliferative actions of interferon. In addition to translational function, PKR has been implicated in many signaling...
